[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Zero conversation
Words upon a page
No communication
No respect
Zero but a world of words
A war of simple rage
Not worth the time
To look in or dissect

[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "Wait, I'm not ready
I wasn't really treated fair"
"Wait, not in a hurry
I want the time I wasted back
When I thought no one cared"

[Verse 2]
Positively negative
Zero minus one
He believes
He believes in what he say
A lifetime in a moment passes
Zero minus one
Borrowed time
Borrow one more day
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait, I'm not ready
I wasn't really treated fair
Wait, not in a hurry
I want the time I wasted back
When I thought no one cared

[Chorus]
Just enough to keep you down
Up to zero
Just enough to keep you down
Just enough to keep you down
I'm up to zero
Just enough to keep you down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Wasted, wanted, needed, feel
When all is said and done
Christened, baptized
Spitting on the Son
Stop it here, one more deal
A moment now to beg or steal
A scrap of meat or one last meal
Stop it here, stop it here... and
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait, I'm not ready
I wasn't really treated fair
Wait, not in a hurry
I want the time I wasted back
When I thought no one cared

[Chorus]
Just enough to keep you down
Up to zero
Just enough to keep you down
Just enough to keep you down
Up to zero
Just enough to keep you down

[Outro]
Keep you down
Keep you down
